High Surf Advisory issued August 12 at 3:14PM ChST until August 14 at 4:00AM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 8 to 11 feet and dangerous rip
currents expected.
* WHERE...West facing reefs of the Marianas.
* WHEN...Until 4 AM ChST Friday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong monsoon pattern continues to produce
hazardous surf and a high risk of rip currents along west-facing
reefs through late Thursday night. The High Surf Advisory and High
Rip Current Risk may be extended again, potentially increasing back
up to hazardous levels along north-facing reefs, as the monsoon
pattern and associated west to northwest swells continue into next
week.
Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. If
caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the
current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If
unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
